I would think that at Year 11, you would want to develop a SAC that
would a) assess their understanding of the key knowledge and skills
and b) appeal to their interests. After all, we want these kids to
enroll in our Year 12 subjects come July.<br>
<br>
Over the years I have used students co-curricular interests to
direct me as to what type of case study might be appropriate for
their interest. And of course it is important to have FUN with the
Year 11 curriculum. At Year 12 you don't have as much flexibility
compared with Year 11.<br>
<br>
The example in the study design is for Enrollment trends at a
school. This might be interesting to some, but other case studies
might be more appealing to the kids. So you might need to do a
little thinking outside the box! Perhaps we could use the list to
brainstorm?<br>

possibility of students having any real advantages because
firstly the examples in the Study Design are INCOMPLETE and
only a sample, not the full SAC. It has great potentials to
be developed into a real SAC, using different data sets and
even different scenarios so I believe writing SAC’s based on
the study design should be a good thing because at least
it’s on the right track.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

You do have a good point when it comes to kids getting real
SACs and getting an unfair advantage, which is why the ITA
list is careful about teachers uploading SACs to the public.
You never know where they might end up.<br>

Hi Natalie. If a year 11 of mine went to the
trouble of reading the study design and
independently worked on a possible solution
before a SAC was even given, I reckon they'd <b>deserve</b>
bonus points, but such a rare beast probably
wouldn't be the type who needed bonus points!
They would already be A+ material.<br>
<br>
:-)<br>

Can anyone be kind enough to

Are we allowed to use the
